Facelift Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of a facelift in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for a facelift in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one area is treated and you go home the same day, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several procedures are combined, the operation takes longer, you stay overnight or you choose a more senior surgeon.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for a facelift, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Dressings, splints or garments
• GST
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

A facelift, also called rhytidectomy, lifts and tightens the skin and deeper tissues of the lower face and neck to reduce jowls and loose neck skin.

A facelift helps jowls, deep folds and loose neck skin, but it does not change fine lines or skin texture, which need resurfacing treatments instead.

The face continues to age naturally from its new starting point.

The NHS describes surgery lasting about 2 to 3 hours, bruising for at least 2 weeks, stitches removed after 7 to 14 days, a recovery of 2 to 4 weeks and the final look at 6 to 9 months.

Listed risks include nerve damage, uneven results, thick scars, hair loss near the scars and slow healing, and smoking raises the chance of skin problems.

Flying home: UK aviation guidance has no figure for cosmetic surgery, so book the flight after the surgeon's wound check and walk about regularly on board.

A Gurgaon quote for a facelift is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG and anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and anaesthesia: set mostly by operating time.
• Surgeon's fees: which vary with experience.
• GST: may be added, as cosmetic surgery is not exempt healthcare.
• Area lifted: lower face, neck or both.
• Additional procedures: such as eyelid surgery.
• Anaesthetic and stay: usually general, one night.
• Follow-up: stitch removal and reviews.

Cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon is normally paid for privately, so check whether the quote includes GST, the anaesthetist, compression garments and follow-up visits.

Gurgaon has plastic surgery services in both hospitals and day-care clinics, and for anything under general anaesthesia an on-site intensive care unit adds a margin of safety.

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), part of the Quality Council of India and accredited by ISQua, sets India's national hospital standard, and its website lets you confirm whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is current.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon, check that the surgeon is listed on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for their medical council registration number.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
